If you're interested in learning, I'd recommend installing Arch and going with a more minimal WM such as i3 (my personal favorite). This'll require a fair bit of time and research filling in functionality that your current setup handles for you, but you'll learn a ton and end up with a fully customized system you know the ins and outs of. Such is the beauty of GNU/Linux :]

Heh, after your last comment I went and searched info about Arch. I feel like it's kinda above my pay grade as for now. I was always into 'minimal' approach, that sounds great. I have dual boot mint/windows and I'm afraid I'll break something if I'll try to go with Arch.

Certainly fair - Mint is a great distro. Enjoy the journey
